StreamSetsData Collector EdgeTM (SDC Edge) is a lightweight execution agent without a UI that runs pipelines on edge devices with limited resources.
Use SDC Edge to read data from an edge device or to receive data from another pipeline and then act on that data to control
an edge device.

Data Collector Edge (SDC Edge) includes several sample pipelines that make it easy to get started. You simply import one of the sample
edge pipelines, create the appropriate Data Collector receiving pipeline, download and install SDC Edge on the edge device, and then run the sample edge pipeline.

Administering SDC Edge involves configuring, starting, shutting down, and viewing logs for the agent. When using StreamSets Control Hub, you can also use the SDC Edge command line interface to register SDC Edge with Control Hub.

After designing edge pipelines in Data Collector and then deploying the edge pipelines to SDC Edge, you can manage the pipelines on SDC Edge. Managing edge pipelines includes previewing, validating, starting, stopping, and monitoring the pipelines
as well as resetting the origin for the pipelines.

Downloading Pipelines from SDC Edge

When SDC Edge is
running and is accessible by the Data Collector
machine, you can download edge pipelines from SDC Edge into
Data Collector.
When you download pipelines from SDC Edge, you
download all edge pipelines deployed to that SDC Edge.

Download edge
pipelines when you need to edit deployed pipelines and the edge pipelines were
originally developed on a different Data Collector.
